CST-24T P90
The guitar came in a cardboard box. Really well done, sturdy and safe.
Upon unboxing the guitar i was amazed at how beautiful it is. I've seen the videos regarding Harley Benton guitars and i thoroughly inspect the guitar. I found no fault. Literally, the bindings the frets, the headstock, the body, knobs and electronics, everything is just so well made. What surprised me was the fact that the strings looked brand new and not as if they were there for like months.
Intonation was on point with the exception of 2 strings not being perfectly intonated. Instantly played out of the box and the guitar was really well set up. Action was were it was supposed to be.
The sound is what i expected from a P90 pickup, and the pickups' volume is normal.
All in all, a near perfect instrument for my standards at least. Would definitely buy another one.

Great Mod Platform
Was 10/10 after modding it to an inch of it's life and than it came ALIVE. #overkill mod with Bare Knuckle True Grit P90 Set, Gotoh Locking Tuners, Graphtech Nut

Nice finish
Well made, great tone, only issue was a couple of high frets, so had to get a luthier to level the frets. Still great value - as always great service from Thomann

Amazing for the money
I bought this as a back up to my tele ( P90 at bridge). The tele needs work. I don't think I'm going to go back to the tele because the CST 24T is so good. I read a lot of reviews on this guitar and took a chance that any fret issues could be sorted but there are no issues with it really. I have ordered a set of locking tuners for it but the originals are fine. I'm seriously considering ordering the humbucker model. Unbeatable value
Update:
Frets are considerably higher and a redress was needed. The extra frets are a gift and give a bit extra hand space when playing up high on the neck.

Sounds like it should cost more.....
However arrived with cracks on the neck and head had damage as well, been waiting all week for for it to be picked up for a replacement. Customer service isn't the best , very all you just have to phone UPS to arrange pick up. Sounds easy , four calls later still not not sure when it's going back .........not impressed

Great for the price!
A touch heavy and a few overlooked minor details, but at this price point this guitar is awesome! Super low action. Easy to play. Overall well done!

It grows on you...
When I first inspected the guitar I wasn't all that impressed. The fret board at the neck pick up was untidy, there was visible glue and the very end was chipped. I just shrugged and said "oh well, what did I expect for this price".
However, as I've started to play this and get used to the feel of it I'm really starting to connect with it and the P90s are just my favourite sound in the world right now.
Aesthetically, overall this is a beautiful looking instrument and I do check it every time I walk past. From 10 feet you'd never know this was a cheap guitar and it really plays like much more expensive ones. Maybe I got lucky, but I'm very happy I bought this and it's rapidly becoming one of my favourite guitars.

WOW
Gotta say I am totally impressed with this guitar for the price! I own over 20 guitars in all price ranges with a proper setup this thing plays great! The pickups are a little dark sounding... But you can remedy that
